  1. Thanks to the Treasonous Dementia Patient’s Lawfare actions, the United States of America has officially lost its standing as the Leader of the Free World. We now have no grounds on which to stand and level ANY criticism whatsoever toward Russia, China, or any third-world country or facist dictator for that matter. In fact, it’s highly likely that Putin has gift wrapped a case of Russia’s finest Vodka, and Xi China’s finest Rice Wine, to send to Biden with the same simple note… “Welcome to the club.”

    May God Bless our Nation and Protect our Great Republic from Her enemies both foreign AND domestic.

  2. @ William_Wallace = Read the EO. he is NOT doing anything like Trump did. The Border remains open. Trump closed it and had “Remain In Mexico”. Biden is lying to America again.

  3. Biden’s open border policies create a immigration crisis for 3 1/2 years and now 5 months before the election Biden goes and tries to ‘fix’ the border by doing what Trump did. Are they going to deport the 7 million that came in under Biden? I think not.

  4. @ A Skeptic = Read it first, he added a LOT of Loop Holes and is STILL allowing illegal Entry so his Order does nothing, it’s just a Campaign Play for Votes.

  5. So after 3 1/2 years of open borders, Biden’s adds another executive order, just in time for campaign season, that is essentially a “do it Trump’s way” acknowledgement.

    Imagine where we’d be today had Biden not undone so much of what Trump accomplished!
